Your e‑invoicing deadline is July 31.
NRS has directed every large taxpayer to complete e‑invoicing adoption by July 31, 2026. After that, you face enforcement action — and your customers lose VAT input credit on every invoice you issue outside the system.

Time left to the NRS deadline
1,000+ large taxpayers had already completed onboarding by Q1 2026. The remaining group gets smaller — and more visible to NRS — every week.
Before July 31
The four things NRS requires — all handled by ZUTAX
Onboard to the Merchant Buyer Solution
Register and complete setup on the MBS / Electronic Fiscal System. We guide you through it on day one.
Integrate through an approved APP
NRS requires a certified Access Point Provider or Systems Integrator. ZUTAX transmits through Pasca, a certified Peppol Access Point.
Pass validation & testing
Every invoice format must clear NRS’s mandatory validation. ZUTAX validates automatically before anything is submitted.
Actively transmit invoices
Registration alone doesn’t count — you must be transmitting live. ZUTAX signs, stamps and delivers every invoice as you issue it.
Yes, there is still time
Live and transmitting in 3 days
The same onboarding path our ERPNext implementation partners use to take enterprise clients live — compressed, with a dedicated onboarding engineer on your account.
Onboard & register
We set up your ZUTAX workspace, confirm your TIN and MBS registration, and map your invoice fields to the NRS-required format.
Integrate & validate
Connect your ERP or accounting system — or invoice directly in ZUTAX. Test invoices clear NRS validation through Pasca’s certified Access Point.
Go live
Your first FIRS-signed, IRN-stamped invoices transmit to NRS. Your team is trained and your compliance evidence trail starts building.
“ZUTAX's API made integration straightforward. We had our first client live in 3 days, and the same integration pattern works across all our ERPNext implementations.”
What's at stake
Missing July 31 costs you three ways
Regulatory enforcement
NRS has warned that defaulters face regulatory and enforcement action under existing tax law — for every day off-system after the deadline.
Your customers lose VAT credit
VAT input credit can only be claimed on invoices validated through the MBS. Off-system invoices are worth less to every customer you bill.
Statutory penalties accrue
Under the NTAB framework, non-deployment starts at ₦1,000,000 plus ₦10,000 per day, and each off-system invoice risks ₦200,000 + 100% of VAT due.

Before you decide
The questions every finance team asks us
We already run SAP / ERPNext / Odoo. Do we have to switch?
No. ZUTAX sits alongside your existing ERP — invoices flow through our API, get signed, stamped and transmitted, and status syncs back. Our implementation partners run this pattern across ERPNext, and the same API works for any system that can send JSON.
Can we realistically make the deadline from a standing start?
Yes, if you start now. Direct invoicing through the ZUTAX app works from day one; ERP integrations typically go live in about 3 days. What you cannot compress is the queue — onboarding demand rises every day closer to July 31.
Is ZUTAX an approved channel for NRS transmission?
ZUTAX transmits every invoice through Pasca, a certified Peppol Access Point Provider — the integration route NRS’s directive names. FIRS-level signing, IRN generation and QR stamping happen automatically on every invoice.
What exactly happens after we sign up?
You get a workspace immediately and a dedicated onboarding contact the same business day. Day 1 is registration and field mapping, day 2 is integration and NRS validation testing, day 3 is live transmission. No card is required to start.
The deadline doesn't move. Your go-live date can.
Start today and your first compliant invoice can transmit this week — with days to spare before enforcement begins.
